STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENTThe invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefore.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe invention generally relates to conversion of terminal alcohols to the corresponding terminal alkenes with high selectivity and chemical yields. The bio-1-alkenes are useful in the preparation of sustainable and alternative diesel and jet fuels and biolubricants.
BACKGROUNDα-olefins are useful intermediates in preparing diesel and jet/turbine fuels. They are also use in preparing poly-α-olefins (PAOs) and copolymers with ethylene to form low density plastics. If the α-olefins are made from petroleum resources, then there exist several well known processes for ethylene oligomerization that afford α-olefins such as 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, and so forth, and after a distillation and purification process can yield a single pure terminal olefin. The Shell Shop process is perhaps the best known to those skilled in the art of ethylene oligomerization.
Obtaining α-olefins made from renewable and sustainable resources requires quite a different approach. Since alcohols can be produced in large scale by fermentation processes, they can be viewed as an attractive feedstock for α-olefins provided that they can be dehydrated in high yield and with high regioselectivity. Particular to α-olefins is a distinct and thermodynamically driven isomerization reaction to the more stable internal-olefin. For example, dehydration of 1-butanol often produces a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butene where the latter is a result of 1-butene isomerizing to the more thermodynamically stable 2-butene. It is well known this type of double-bond isomerization is facilitated by acid catalysts; hence, to maintain 1-butene as the dominant product, a successful process must avoid interaction with acidic catalyst sites.
Bio-1-butanol in particular has a rich history of success and large scale commercial production since the discovery by Louis Pasteur in 1862 where he first revealed bacteria that could ferment sugars to a mixture of acetone, 1-butanol, and ethanol (ABE). Since Pasteur's initial discovery of the ABE process many advances have been made in the fermentation process to optimize bio-1-butanol production and reduce ethanol and acetone co-production. Most notably are the successful efforts using non-engineered bacteria that in fact have led to commercial plants operating for decades that produce bio-1-butanol.
Since fermentations are carried out in water, separation of the fermentation products from the water and bacteria “soup” is energy and time intensive. In the case of bio-1-butanol, several methods have been reported for isolating the alcohol component. One method that has found commercial success is use of a sparging gas (e.g. carbon dioxide or steam) that carries the more volatile bio-1-butanol/water azeotrope away from the feimentation broth. Other more academic approaches involve pervaporization. In this case, a selective-membrane material is used that permits bio-1-butanol pass through, thus leaving the bacteria and water behind. Regardless of the method it is evident to those skilled in the art that removing the last traces of impurities and water are costly in energy and time. The methods vary significantly in capabilities. However, water and impurities are a direct and unavoidable consequence from bioalcohol fermentation processing. Ruwet et al. (Bull. Soc. Chim. 1987, 96, 281-292) discuss the problems in using a wet ABE bio-1-butanol feed in a dehydration reaction to afford a mixture of olefins. More recently, D'amore et al. (patent appl. US 2008/0015395 A1) showed extreme difficulty in dehydrating aqueous solutions of 1-butanol using a variety of acid catalysts to afford a mixture of olefins and other oxygenated products (e.g. ethers) coupled to high amounts of unreacted 1-butanol. There is clearly no obvious and proficient method for preparing terminal bio-1-olefins efficiently from bio-1-alcohols that contain water as a major impurity.
SUMMARYEmbodiments of the invention give instant access to a catalyst system and process that can take in a feed of terminal bioalcohol including from 0.1 or about 0.1 to about 90 wt-% water and produce the respective α-olefin with 92-99% regiochemical selectivity and in a single pass over the catalyst system afford a chemical conversion of greater than 95%. At least one solid phase catalyst is maintained at a temperature of 200 ° C. to 400 ° C., with fed of bioalcohol at a pressure of 1 to 1000 psig to produce at least one bio-1-alkene in high selectivity. In one embodiment, bioalcohol is obtained from a fermentation broth after removal of minor acidic contaminants.
Embodiments of the invention generally relate to alternative fuels and the making of bio-1-alkenes that can be utilized to prepare drop-in and full performance diesel biofuel, jet biofuel, and biolubricants.

Further advantages of this invention will be apparent after a review of the following detailed description of the disclosed embodiments, which are illustrated schematically in the accompanying drawings and in the appended claims.
DETAILED DESCRIPTIONEmbodiments of this invention are to place at least one bio-1-alcohol including water in contact with a solid phase catalyst to produce and isolate at least one bio-1-olefin with high selectivity (>92%):

An aspect of the invention relates to a method for dehydrating bio-1-alcohol including; providing at least one bio-1-alcohol, where the bio-1-alcohol having from 1 ppm to 90% water, subjecting and heating the bio-1-alcohol with at least one desired catalyst, and controlling dwell time and temperature with at least one purge gas at a rate of about 0.01 to about 1.0 per mass of said catalyst/hour to produce bio-1-alkene with high selectivity (>95%).

Embodiments of the invention including bio-1-alcohol it is bio-1-butanol. In embodiments including bio-1-alkene it is bio-1-butene. In embodiments, the catalyst is a equal molar combination of zinc oxide and alumina that has been treated at a temperature of 800 to 1000° C. for periods of 24 to 48 h prior, then treated with base, washed, air dried, and then treated with 0.1-20 wt-% of a chlorosilane in a hydrocarbon solvent. In embodiments, at least one chlorosilane is taken from the group consisting of triphenylchlorosilane, diphenyldichlorosilane, phenyltrichlorosilane. In other embodiments, the chlorosilane is at least one trialkylchlorosilane which is taken from the group consisting of dialkyldichlorosilane, alkyltrichlorosilane. In embodiments, the alkyl is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, iso-butyl, and up to C20 alkyl chains as a pure linear or branched or a mixture thereof.
In embodiments, the catalyst is an alumina-based catalyst that has been treated with an aqueous base solution, washed with water, dried, reacted with at least one chlorosilane in the amount of 0.1-20 wt-%, washed with a hydrocarbon solvent, and air dried. In other embodiments, the base is selected from sodium or potassium hydroxide at concentrations in water of 1 to 20 wt-% wherein 5 wt-% and contact time with the γ-alumina is from 1-8 h or 2 h. In other embodiments, the catalyst is ZnAl2O4. In yet other embodiments, the catalyst is a γ-alumina catalyst that has been modified by reaction with base and then modified with an organosilane. In these embodiments, at least one chlorosilane is taken from the group consisting of triphenylchlorosilane, diphenyldichlorosilane, or phenyltrichlorosilane. In these embodiments, at least one chlorosilane is taken from the group consisting of trialkylchlorosilane, dialkyldichlorosilane, or alkyltrichlorosilane. In these embodiments, the alkyl is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, iso-butyl, and up to C20 alkyl chains as a pure linear or branched or a mixture thereof.
In embodiments, the purge gas is nitrogen, argon, or a mixture of the two gases. In embodiments, the ZnAl2O4 is obtained by recycling of spent catalyst through heating first to 800-1100° C., with 900-1000° C. for a period of 4 to 24 h or 16 h of heating, all in the presence of nitrogen or air. In embodiments, the heating ranges for the dehydration range from about 300° C. to about 420° C. or about 360 to about 385° C.
In embodiments, the catalyst is a combination of zinc oxide and alumina not in a one to one mole ratio. In embodiments, the catalyst is an alumina-based catalyst specifically washed with base solutions. In other embodiments, the catalyst is an alumina-based catalyst modified with an organosilane. In alternative embodiments, there is no purge gas. In other embodiments, the purge gas is nitrogen and/or argon. In embodiments, the heating step ranges from temperatures of about 300° C. to 420° C. In embodiments, the bio-1-alcohol is 1-pentanol and/or 1-hexanol. In other embodiments, the bio-1-alcohol comprises long chain bioalcohols including 1-hexadecanol.
Embodiments of the invention include at least one bio-1-alkene being contacted with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst to form oligomers useful in preparing high flashpoint biodiesel fuels, which includes flashpoints in the range of 61 to 100deg° C. and Cetane rating of 45 to 60. In other embodiments, at least one bio-1-alkene is contacted with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst to form oligomers useful in preparing high flashpoint biojet fuels, these include flashpoints from 61 to 100° C. and cold flow viscosities of <8.5 cSt at −20° C. In embodiments, at least one bio-1-alkene is contacted with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst to foam oligomers useful in preparing biolubricants with viscosities in the range of 1 to 10,000 cSt at 25° C. In embodiments, the fuels are a bio-alkene fuel precursor produced by the methods disclosed. A bio-alkene produced by the method described above.
For an embodiment in this invention the bio-1-alcohol can include water at levels as low as 1 to 1000 ppm where equal performance of catalyst to afford bio-1-alkene is seen throughout the entire range of low water content and maintains high selectivity for extended periods of time on stream, typically 6-12 months.
Possible alternatives would be silica and alumina solid phase catalysts as well as standard mineral acid catalysts. These all give complicated mixtures of products. There are patents in the 1980's that describe the catalytic dehydration of terminal alcohols over solid phase catalysts, however the process described does not relate to bio-1-alcohols and does not handle the impurities (e.g. water) commonly found in bio-1-alcohols produced by fermentation processes and potentially other biotic procedures. The art had water contained in the alcohol feed which would deactivate the catalyst. Since water is a common co-product in making bioalcohols, there exists a significant limitation in the art. Work in 2005 specifically pointed out the shortcomings of using γ-alumina to dehydrate 1-alcohols. The study (Makgoba et al. Applied Catalysis A: General 2005, 297(2), 145-150) showed γ-alumina showed significant loss in selectivity for conversion of 1-alcohols to 1-alkenes (α-olefins) with time on stream (TOS) leading to production of internal olefins although conversion rate of alcohol to alkenes remained steady.
Currently dehydration methods form a mixture of alkenes, some being internal-alkenes. The latter are far less effective in certain types of Zeigler-Natta polymerization chemistry that are of particular interest in preparing high flashpoint diesel and jet fuels and for making biolubricants. Thus for utilizing a bio-1-alcohol (e.g. bio-1-butanol) as feedstock, it is highly desirable to have a selective dehydration process that affords rapid and high conversion to the terminal-olefin (e.g. bio-1-butene) and is accompanied by no carbon skeletal rearrangement (e.g. to iso-butylene). In embodiments of the invention, bio-1-butene can be utilized to make drop-in diesel and jet biofuels as well as biolubricants in an energy manner [
Current methods for dehydrating alcohol leads to a variety of regiosiomers. For example, 1-butanol if dehydrated by typical solid phase catalysts, like γ-alumina, affords a mixture of 1-butene (˜70%) and 2-butene (˜30%). Other examples, like the dehydration of iso-butyl alcohol (Taylor et al. Topics Catal 2010, 53, pp 1224-1230), afford regio-isomers as well as skeletal rearrangements (e.g. to 2-butene). Embodiments of this invention describe a catalyst system and approach that lead to high regiochemical dehydration of 1-bioalcohols including water and retain selectivity with extended time on stream (TOS). Hence, dehydration of bio-1-butanol using embodiments of the invention of the process described herein leads to bio-1-butene in better than 95% chemical yield and 92-99% selectivity for bio-1-butene with at least one catalyst charge can be used continuously for 1-12 months and show no decrease in selectivity for the terminal bio-1-olefin.
Other organic contaminants including esters and ketones, but not limited to, can be tolerated at various levels depending upon the bio-1-alcohol feedstock used. Ranges from 0.0 to 5 wt-% can be tolerated, or 0.0 to 0.5 wt-% the level of organic contaminants.
In the case of acidic-contaminants, it is best practice to remove them by pretreatment of the bioalcohol mixture either in solution or gas phase [
A feedstock of bio-1-alcohol is passed through a heated vessel 301 including the dehydration catalyst [
Catalysts used in 301 for embodiments of the invention may left as powders in the range of 10-1000 micron, or 50-200 micron, or they can be pelletized using techniques common to those skilled in the art. The advantage of creating pellets is a decrease in vessel back pressure. This may be important where physical process requirements require long reaction tubes and/or where low head-pressures are desirable. Pellets may be any shape or size; however, a range is from ⅛″ diameter to ¼″ diameter with lengths 1 to times the diameter, but not limited to.
Water is separated from the bioalkene product stream by fractionation through a distillation column 302. Physical separation of layers can be used when the bioalkene product is sufficiently high boiling, typically above 30° C., then 302 would function as a decanter rather than distillation column. The bioalkene product will always be the top layer and it will be siphoned from the top of the vessel with the separated water continuously drained from 302.
Final removal of final traces of water and oxygenated organics can be done by passing the bioalkene stream through a fixed bed of activated alumina, molecular sieves, Celite, activated charcoal, size-exclusion type of media, or a combination thereof included in vessel 303. Reactivation of the fixed-bed materials is possible by heating under a purge of hydrocarbon or inert gas while heating to temperature of 50 to 200° C. or 100° C. Vessel 302 could also be a series of membranes and/or bed of ionic-liquids that are well known for permitting selective passage of non-polar molecules and retaining more polar organics (e.g. ethers and alcohols).
EXAMPLE 1Two runs were carried out according to the process of embodiments of the invention for the dehydration of bio-1-butanol including 18% water by weight. The catalyst for the runs was prepared from γ-alumina powder (300 g, ˜185 m2/g, pore volume 0.43 cc/g) obtained from Strem Chemical and was modified with base wash, dried, and then modified by treatment with 2 wt-% of diphenylsilane dichlorosilane in hexanes. The modified alumina (˜280 g) was air dried and loaded into the fix-bed continuous flow reactor and heated to 380° C. All runs were performed with a feed of 0.8 mL/min at a pressure of 30 psig created with flow restriction to maintain adequate flow stability with the HPLC pump. Table I presents the total chemical yield of biobutenes, regioselectivity for bio-1-butene, and time on stream (TOS) for the catalyst.
The final bioalkene product may be used immediately in the process to make diesel and jet biofuels and/or biolubricants [
Products from embodiments of the invention can be placed in contact with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst (401) and rapidly converted to α-olefin oligomers. The reactor type used in step 401 can be a continuous flow or simple batch. Step 401 can also utilize an isomerization catalyst to fully utilize internal olefins that might be present in minor amounts. The catalysts are removed from the α-olefin oligomers mixture and the lights are removed in 403 and then subjected to a highly energy and chemically efficient dimerization reaction (404), thus doubling their molecular weight so they effectively fit into a useful range of boiling point and viscosity for use as a diesel, jet, and/or biolubricant. The bottoms from 403 are combined with product from 404 (after catalyst removal) and subjected to hydrogenation in 405 and followed by a finishing process (i.e. fractionation) that affords high flash point (61-100° C.) diesel and jet fuels as well as biolubricants with exceptional thermal stability.
